I don't know if that's true but assuming that it is... pretty damning from a health and safety perspective. It's very daft to force them to play as well because a season long injury to a star doesn't help the league either.

Yea exactly, good luck enforcing some kind of rule with those numbers.

Plus, something crazy like that would have to be collectively bargained, something the players would never go for. The league can't just decide to do it, it doesn't work like that, like some have insinuated on the MSB.

I don't feel sorry for the guys because they make a fortune. It is still appropriate to make sure the game is safe.

Different sport but I think eventually a player injured in a Thursday night NFL game is going to sue the league and his team for putting them in an unsafe condition and ruining their career. That un-guaranteed will get paid out quick with the right lawyers. Businesses never win with unsafe work conditions.
